This term is not any alternative spelling of fever, believe me. But once you get to know about it and its immense importance, you certainly get addicted to it. When I started my career on Fiverr, the fact of online earning was quite exciting for me. A huge population of Pakistan including the educated ones are afraid or unaware of online earning platforms. Fiverr is an online earning platform which is used to connect potential customers with the freelancers. Freelancer is a person who provides remote services sitting at his own place.
Fiverr was founded in 2010 and this company is based in Tel Aviv. Its headquarters are located in Israel. Fiverr has strong competitors like Upwork and Freelancer.com. One thing which differentiates Fiverr from other online earning platforms is that the smallest order starts from 5$ and extends up to 1000$. It can be used by every person who needs a service no matter of how much small nature. The customers are mostly individual unlike the companies on Upwork and Freelancer.
How it works:
Freelancer needs to make a convincing profile on Fiverr and mention his skills. The service provided by the freelancer is called “gig” on Fiverr. You should mention the details of the service, its price, delivery time and extra revisions along with other options too. The gigs can be made by going in the “selling” section. You should write some attractive title of your gig and set the reasonable price. The sellers will contact you and will place order after talking with you. The order will be marked complete after seller delivers it. The buyer marks it complete after satisfying from the quality of the work. The payment held in escrow is released after order completion.
The buyers usually post buyer requests on which the sellers send proposals. This is done when you do not get any order directly. The proposal should be persuasive mentioning your skills and inviting the client to chat with you further. Normally, a person gets his first order from 1 to 2 months depending on hiss efforts.
Promote your gigs:
It is really important to promote your gigs in order to get orders. In social media world it is important to become visible in front of the people. Same goes here because you need to promote your gigs in order to get more exposure. More clicks and impressions on your gig makes it more discoverable by the clients. Using relevant tags while making a gig helps it to discover easily.
Payment:
The minimum amount to withdraw is 20$ for the first time. There were two methods by which you could draw money but they recently introduced bank transfer. Bank transfer method is more convenient for the business people and job holders as they have their bank accounts and debit/credit cards. Fiverr is integrated with Paypal but it is not a popular payment gateway in Pakistan due to its taxes. You can also get your customized Fiverr revenue card for withdrawal process. The money is available for withdrawal after 14 days of order completion.
One important factor is that you should have grip on at least a single skill before expecting earning on Fiverr platform.
